WVILLIAM C. HORNER, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO CHARLES P.MGDOUGALL, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

KITCHEN -CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 3, 1906.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WVILLIAM O. HORNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Indianapolis,in the county of Marion and State of Indiana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabinets,of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a cabinet having a closet-spaceand an adjacent drawer having an open vertical face, the arrangementbeing such that said drawer may be withdrawn horizontally from thecasing, and also such that the contents thereof will be accessible fromthe closet-space without withdrawing the drawer from the cabinet.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the vertical drawer partiallywithdrawn from the cabinet, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing therelation of said vertical drawer to the other portions of the cabinet.

In the drawings, 10 indicates a suitable cabinet or casing within whichis slidably mounted the vertical drawer 11, said vertical drawer beingprovided with one or more horizontal shelves 12 12, which extend fromthe front 11 to the rear 11". The drawer 11 has at least one of itsvertical faces open,

and in order to prevent accidental lateral displacement of materialplaced upon the shelves 12 I prefer to provide uard-rails 13 adjacenteach shelf 12, eXten ing from the front 11 to the back 11. The verticaldrawer 11 is arranged adjacent a closet-space 16, which is closed by anysuitable means, such as a swinging door 17. The vertical drawer 11slides in suitable guides 18, ar ranged within the casing; but there isno partition between the open face of the vertical drawer and thecloset-space 16, thus making it possible to have access to the materialcarried by the vertical drawer through the closet-space and withoutwithdrawing the drawer, if desired. Such construction is especiallydesirable where kitchen-space is at a premium during active operations.

I claim as my invention The combination, with a suitable inclosingcasing having a closet-space, of a vertical drawer slidably mountedtherein and having an open vertical face arranged adjacent the saidcloset-space and accessible therefrom, and a closure for saidcloset-space.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, atIndianapolis, Indiana, this 27th day of September, A. D. 1905.

WILLIAM C. HORNER.
